An exciting thing has happened in my life today.
Today, I took the first step towards becoming a Certified Sports Nutrition Advisor. This education program is created and regularly updated to reflect the advances in nutrition science by Cory Holly at the Cory Holly Institute (CHI).
This is definitely the first step towards achieving that certification and also obtaining a higher level of knowledge and understanding about something I love very much. On another scale this feels like the millionth step I’ve taken in a direction I started walking many years ago.
I’ve been struck over and over again by two words that continue to appear among the introductory pages of the first module of the CSNA course. Those two words are “clarity” and “vision”.
Do you have mental clarity? Do you have a vision? Do you know where you are going and why you are going there? Do you know who you are?
I challenge you to find answers to these incredibly important questions. If you can’t find any answers it is certainly time to start looking. The answers to these questions affect every part of your life.
I often find myself wondering just where I am going and just why I am going there. Certainly I wish I had the answers to those questions cemented so deeply within my mind that those very musings cease to exist within myself. This is when I remind myself that the answers to these questions are actually very simple and over thinking them is what complicates the process of actually discovering the true answers to these questions.
More often than not, you already know the answers to these questions. The answers are found in everything you do and everything you want to do. What do you love? What excites you and creates passion in your life, what moves you? When you get up in the morning what is the first thing you think about? When you go to bed at night what lies in your mind until your consciousness releases itself into sleep? The very things you do every day essentially define you and who you are and inevitably answer those very important questions whether you like the answers or not. Do you like who you have become today? Who do you want to be tomorrow?
I know one thing for sure. I most certainly want to, and most certainly will be, better than I am today.
